Forget fairytales — Devon Cole has a knack for turning everyday moments into sly pop anthems, scripting moods that feel both familiar and refreshingly bold. And with her latest groove-laced single, “Play House,” the Canadian singer-songwriter doubles down on her cheeky rebellion against pop’s well-worn tropes.
Out now via Arista Records, the latest offering is a flirty, funk-kissed spin on modern romance — an R&B-infused daydream where domestic bliss comes with a wink, not a wedding ring.
Swapping tradition for temptation, “Play House” reimagines domestic bliss not as routine, but as a series of lipstick-smeared mornings, unwashed dishes, undone chores, and the kind of intimacy that leans into chaos. Cole’s breathy, flirtatious delivery dances through scenes of IKEA assembly and Listerine swishing, all while casually dismantling the idea that “settling down” has to be, well, settled.
“I like to play house, I like to make out/ Let the dishes keep on soakin’ and lay me down,” she sings — not with coyness, but with a self-assured wink and effortless swagger. It’s that breezy boldness, equal parts sass and softness, that’s come to define Cole’s signature voice in pop. And coming off the shimmering highs of her well-received Two Shades Blonder EP, “Play House” feels like a confident exhale — an artist no longer trying things on for size, but fully stepping into her sound and owning it.
With over 218 million streams under her belt and a growing catalogue of songs that marry feminist wit with pop appeal, Devon Cole continues to prove that pop can have both brains and bite that still cut deep. If “Play House” is the teaser, whatever’s next won’t just flirt with the mainstream — it’ll grab it by the collar.
